I own the Cybershot P93, and I needed more storage capacity, so I bought the Sony Memo Stick "PRO" 256MB, I have to say its reliable, durable & fast in processing, storing & accessing...

And there ain't much difference in price from the unoriginals types like Lexar or Sandisk.

The memory stick looks cool & its Made in Japan! Actual capacity it offers is 220MB as the rest 36MB are necessarily for system & data usage.

Be sure your Sony camera supports the PRO type of Memory sticks, as the older models lack this feature.

With the 256MB Capacity, I get:

3 hrs of low quality videos, 12 mins of normal quality and 3 mins of highest quality, which is more than enough.

As for photos, using fine quality, with 1MP, i can store approximately upto 380 photos, with 3MP app. 150 photos & with 5 MP i can store app. upto 90 photos.

It's great & with a reasonable price...

Memory Sticks have always been great technology from day one. The Pro models are no exception. They have fast transfer speeds and are very reliable.

Of course, that comes at a price. Compared to the other flash memory standards, Memory Sticks are expensive. Even the SanDisk "generic" Memory Sticks aren't that much cheaper than the genuine Sonys.

The only other (well documented) drawback to the Pro models is the useless (for digicams) MagicGate feature that steals a fair amount of the total capacity of the card and can't be disabled. Sony really should remedy that for digicam users. Don't hold your breath though.

4 stars because of the price issue and the MagicGate annoyance.

Thinking a Memory Stick was a Memory Stick, I ordered this one for a Sony Cybershot camera that's several years old. Unfortunately, my camera simply won't recognize this stick. Make sure your equipment is compatible with Memory Stick "Pro" before ordering this particular card.

I love the Sony company, and I love this product. It does everything that it says it does; it has a ton of storage and importing pictures is really fast.

I purchased this item because the 1 gig Memory stick was not yet available. (I also purchased the 1 gig) It holds a lot, even when using video and still shots on the same card. I am very happy with it. I looked around and Amazon had the best prices for both the 256 and the 1 gig.

I just got it a few weeks ago and have yet to fill the card but am happily taking lovely clear pictures.

great product at great rate. highly recomended to buy from amazon. no one can beat that. i check the prices every where but ameZon had the best......

I still have not received the product. I see it is now supplied by another vendor. I have sent an email to WholeSalesMall, stating I still have not received the item. They have told me that it was shipped twice the second time with delivery confirmation. Still no product has reached my mailbox.

Just what I was looking for...works great and holds lots of memory/pictures. Will buy from seller again

As advertised, a memory chip for the older camera.

Thanks it works fine.
